Did Apple convince these guys and TSMC (re 5nm production) to make their big ARM announcements the same day ARM Macs are announced? If it's not great marketing

If it's not great marketing then it's a heck of a coincidence.
- jychang 6y agoWell, the WWDC rumors have been talking about ARM macs for weeks. If you were TSMC or Fujitsu and wanted to take advantage of a day where ARM was trending, you could schedule the announcement around WWDC without cooperating with Apple.
